KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s cabinet will discuss the permanent residency of controversial Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik on Wednesday, said a minister who believed Naik should return to India to face charges of money laundering and hate speech.
Naik, who has lived in Malaysia for about three years, has come under fire for his recent comments that Hindus in the Southeast Asian country had “100 times more rights” than the Muslim minority in India and that they sometimes believed in the Indian government more than the Malaysian one. Malaysia’s Minister of Human Resources M. Kulasegaran said Naik’s comments could have been aimed at creating a fissure in the multi-racial nation so he could win the favor of Muslims.
Naik, who has repeatedly rejected the charges against him in India, denied the allegations made by Kulasegaran and others in Malaysia.
